Export to CSV Export Owner, Tenant, and Vendor profile data to a Comma Separated Values (CSV) file. CSV is a standardized format that can be viewed through programs like Microsoft Excel and Open Office Calc. Most standard databases are able to import CSV files. The CSV file can also serve as a backup of the listing data. Windows-based PDA users will use the CSV export to download export listing data to their PDA.
To Export to CSV:
Export to PDB Export Owner, Tenant, and Vendor profile data to a Palm Pilot or other Palm OS PDA (like Handspring Visor or Sony CLIE) to access when working out of the office. The RP Management System uses the recommended standards for Palm integration.
Before exporting data to a PDB, the user must first install the Palm Database program on their Palm Pilot. The database program provides the software that the Palm pilot needs to view, search, and sort data on your Palm Pilot. Download the Palm Database Program through Help - Download Software in the HomeRentals.net Control Panel. Click on the software link (DB.prc) to download.
Click “Open” to download the DB.prc file to computer. After the download is completed, Palm Desktop software’s Install Tool dialog box will display and the DB program will be listed as queued for installation. HotSync the Palm Pilot to finish installing the DB program. The user must HotSync before exporting listings to the Palm Pilot.
To Export to a PDB (Palm DataBase) File:
To Access Owner, Tenant, or Vendor Data in the PDB:
To Search for Owner, Tenant, or Vendor Data in the PDB: Tap the search icon at the bottom of the Palm Pilot screen to search a profile database. By default, the search will check every field for the search criteria configured; but the search can be restricted to a specific field by selecting the field from the “look in” drop-down menu. The search will locate the first record that matches the search criteria. Tap the “search next” icon to jump to the next matching record. Continue until the required profile record is located. |
